Radicalism at the GOP Convention

Forget the beer, the Tea is flowing as Republicans push for a even more radical agenda.

Danny Krueger, a Columbia County Republican, said activists like himself are tired of being ignored by party leaders.

“Either the party is going to pay attention to us and work with us or we are no longer going to pay attention to the party or work with them,” Krueger said.

Horn said conservative anger over the Common Core standards debate isn’t going away and pressure on office holders to reject the standards will only grow.

“They do themselves a disservice if they write this off to a fringe element,” Horn said. “I know there’s a lot of disillusionment with the party and elected representatives in the Republican Party.”


Of course the article ignores the succession proposal that is on the table and the overall level of radicalism that comes from the Tea Party right. Gannett is being nice just focusing on Common Core standards. Get the popcorn ready next weekend in Milwaukee.
